The girlfriend said she went to Confort’s home on Sunday to discuss an incident that occurred on Saturday in which Confort had thrown her to the ground, prosecutor Emily Farley said Monday during Confort’s Framingham District Court arraignment.

When confronted, Confort becomes violent, the prosecutor said.

“He pushed her to the ground, kicked her in the knee and dragged her by the ankles up the stairs,” Farley said.

The woman said she called 911 but the call was disconnected. Confort later called police and told them he wanted the woman thrown out of his home, according to a police report. Confort said the woman would “flip out,” and claim Confort had beat her.The woman was taken to a local hospital to be treated for her injuries.

Police charged Confort with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (foot) and domestic assault and battery.

Farley asked Judge Jennifer Stark to hold Confort on $7,500 bail. She said he had a history of missing court appearances and has been convicted of assault and battery in the past.

Confort’s lawyer, Charles Hughes, argued for his client's release. He said most of Confort’s record stems from long ago and involves his ex-wife.

“I think the key to this, it says in the police report, that he returned home from work, and she was in his apartment,” said Hughes. “She doesn’t live there. She doesn’t have a right to be there.”

Stark ordered Confort held on $2,000 bail and to abide by any restraining orders the woman obtains. Confort is due back in court June 24 for a pretrial conference.
